Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/179,438, filed May 19, 2009, herein incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus for adding a handle to an item, such as a stroller, shopping cart, diaper bag, shopping bag, or the like and, more particularly, to adding a self-affixing, one-piece, removable handle for a child to hold on to while walking next to a shopping cart or stroller.
Younger children, such 3-5 year olds, may still need to ride in a stroller, but they would sometimes prefer to walk. There may be a new sibling born that needs to ride in the stroller while the child walks along side. In both cases, there is a need for a way to keep the child close while walking along side the stroller.
There are leashes that may attach at one end to the stroller or to an adult. These leashes may attach, at the other end, to the child, typically around the child's wrist. These leashes may have a negative perception to many parents.
Some conventional strollers may include a handle built into a side of the stroller. These types of handles may be permanently attached to the stroller to provide a rigid handle for a child.
As can be seen, there is a need for a simple, self-affixing, removable handle that a parent may easily apply to a stroller, shopping cart, or other similar item to allow the child to hold on to while walking.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In one aspect of the present invention, a one-piece, self-affixing, removable handle comprises a loop end; an attachment end; and a strap joining the loop end to the attachment end.
In another aspect of the present invention, a method for adding a handle on an object comprises wrapping a strap section of a handle partially around the object; inserting a handle section, attached to a first end of the strap section, through a hole in an attachment section, the attachment section attached to a second, opposite end of the strap section; and pulling the handle section to tighten the handle on the object.
These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, description and claims.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the handle of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a front view of the handle of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 3;

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
Various inventive features are described below that can each be used independently of one another or in combination with other features.
Broadly, embodiments of the present invention provide a self-affixing, removable, one-piece handle that can be applied and removed from an item, such as a shopping cart, stroller or the like. In other embodiments, the handle may be used to add a handle to a bag, such as a diaper bag, or to hold a plurality of bags together, such as a plurality of shopping bags. A parent carrying a diaper bag and a number of other bags may join the straps of all of the bags together with the handle of the present invention. By being self-affixing, the handle may be attached and removed from the item without the need for tools or any additional items, such as clamps, screws, adhesive, or the like. The handle may provide a link between the shopping cart or stroller and a child. Typical shopping carts or strollers do not provide a suitable location for a child to hold onto while walking alongside. Moreover, a separate, removable, self-affixing handle may be useful to help limit the spread of germs by allowing each child to have their own personal handle.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective view of a child 28 walking next to a stroller 30. The child 28 may hold onto a loop section 12 of a handle 10. The handle 10 may provide a link between the child 28 and the stroller 30. While FIG. 1 shows the handle 10 attached to a stroller 30, the handle 10 may be attached to various objects where a link between the object and a child may be desired.
Referring to FIGS. 2 through 4 various views of the handle 10 are shown. The handle 10 may have an attachment end 18 and a handle end 26. The attachment end 18 may include an opening 22. The attachment end 18 may connect to the handle end 26 through an elongated strap 20. The handle end 26 may include a loop section 12 onto which the child 28 may grasp. The opening 22 may have an opening length 32 that is equal to or greater than a diameter 34 of the loop section 12. This opening length 32 may allow placement and removal of the handle 10, as discussed in greater detail below.
The loop section 12 may be partially filled with a loop section filler 16. The filler 16 may have the same composition as the rest of the handle 10. The filler 16 may result in the handle end 26 having an aesthetically pleasing design, such as a single-toothed smiley face, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
The handle 10 may be made of plastic, rubber, natural woven materials, such as cotton or hemp, man-made woven materials, such as nylon or carbon fibers, or the like, provided that the composition of the handle 10 may be flexible while being strong enough to resist breaking when pulled by a child. The handle 10 may have an overall length 36 between about 10 inches to about 20 inches, typically about 14 to about 15 inches. The loop section 12 may have a diameter 34 from about 2 to about 5 inches. The flexibility of the handle 10 may permit the attached handle to bend when the stroller, shopping cart, or the like, is moved close to a fixed object, such as moving through a door frame, elevator, or the like. Unlike conventional rigid handles, the flexible handle 10, according to an embodiment of the present invention, may not require a wider footprint for maneuvering.
Referring to FIGS. 5 through 7, there is shown various steps for applying the handle 10 to a stroller 30. The strap 20 of the handle 10 may be wrapped around the stroller 30 (FIG. 5). A distal end 24 of the attachment end 18 may be held by a user while inserting the handle end 26 through the opening 22 (FIG. 6). The user may then pull the handle end 26 to tighten the handle 10 onto the stroller 30 (FIG. 7). One feature of the present invention is that the handle 10 may remain attached to the stroller 30, even when the stroller 30 is folded for storage. The handle 10, attached to the folded stroller, may not take up any additional storage space, providing convenient storage without requiring removal.
While the Figures show the handle end 26 being round, any shape may be possible for the handle end. For example, a rectangular handle end (not shown) may provide a flat side for a child's hand to grasp. In other embodiments, the filler 16 may be absent, providing a handle end 26 having an open loop to form the loop section 12.
While the handle 10 is self-affixing (in other words, does not require any tools or additional items, such a clamp or screw to attach), the handle 10 may be permanently applied to an item, such as a stroller, by any suitable attachment means, including screws, clips, clamps, or the like.
The handle 10 may provide a self-affixing solution for easily adding a handle onto a stroller or shopping cart. The handle 10 may also be useful for securing a number of items, such as looped-handle grocery bags, together. Instead of the stroller 30, a number of shopping bag handles (not shown) may be contained by the handle and then carried all together by the open loop end 12 of the handle. In general, the handle 10 may provide a handle where a handle is lacking (such as on the side of a stroller or shopping cart) or may provide a handle to join a number of items together, allowing them to be carried by a single handle 10.
The handle 10 may be made from various methods including standard injection molding, stitching, weaving and the like.
It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing relates to exemplary embodiments of the invention and that modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
